Chapter Twelve: Influence
The sound of the Warp Pad's soft warbling was soon followed by stomping.
Yellow Diamond looked around, grabbed the nearest sleeping Gem, and rushed outside.
…
Selenite woke up, greeted by yellow eyes which gave her a cold, hard glare.
She got up quickly, summoning her bow.
Yellow Diamond smiled. "Hah... it won't work. It's not like I didn't come prepared." The moonlight shone on her armor, which clamped tight on her body.
Selenite dropped it. "What do you want?"
She replied. "I want you in my armies. Think about it. You'll see Homeworld for the first time; you'll be respected by thousands of Gems, warriors or not; and best of all, your own warship and living quarters."
Selenite snarled. "As if I'd join you."
Yellow Diamond frowned. "Very well."
Just then, her eyes had this glint in them but it disappeared just as fast.
Selenite seemed entranced. "Never mind then. I'll come." She shook her head, as if she was trying to snap out of it.
"What am I saying?!"
She picked her bow off the ground, aiming for the space where her breastplate connected to the arm piece.
Yellow Diamond laughed, the glint in her eyes again.
Selenite followed her onto the Warp Pad.
Her mind didn't want to do this; but her body had other plans, whether she liked it or not.
She was a puppet.
